EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION   
MONDAY 31 MAY 2.00PM   
DOWNING STREET

Four Israeli war ships have surrounded the international flotilla   
of seven ships bringing aid to Gaza. Satellite signals from the   
flotilla are being intermittently jammed.

The Gaza Freedom Flotilla is 90 miles from the Gaza shores;   
sailing in international waters where Israel has no jurisdiction.

Once again Israel is breaking international law and committing	
piracy.  It has long threatened this peaceful Flotilla, and is	
now determined to stop it from reaching its destination.

Approximately 700 civilians are on board the seven ships, of whom   
28 are British citizens.

An emergency demonstration has been called for Monday 31 May,	
2.00pm, at Downing Street, demanding that the British government   
protest against Israel's violation of international law.
